fast-jwt: Incomplete patch of CVE-2026-34950: Non-whitespace key-prefix re-enables RSA→HS256 algorithm confusion

Summary The fix for CVE-2026-34950 CVSS 9.1, released in v6.2.0 is incomplete. It adds key.trim to the PEM-detection path in src/crypto.js, but String.prototype.trim only strips characters classified as whitespace by the ECMAScript specification. The subsequent ^-anchored regex /^-----BEGIN?: RSA...

CVE-2026-107722 fast-jwt: Incomplete patch of CVE-2026-34950: Non-whitespace key-prefix re-enables RSA→HS256 algorithm confusion

fast-jwt provides fast JSON Web Token JWT implementation. From 6.2.0 until 6.3.0, fast-jwt can misclassify RSA public-key text as an HMAC secret when the key has non-whitespace content before its PEM header. In src/crypto.js, performDetectPublicKeyAlgorithms trims whitespace but publicKeyPemMatch...

CVE-2026-48526

PyJWT (Python) prior to 2.13.0 did not validate the use of JSON Web Keys in HMAC verification, allowing an attacker to use the issuer public key as the HMAC secret during token verification. This could enable forging tokens when mixing RS/EC/JWK and HS algorithms. The issue is fixed in PyJWT 2.13...

CVE-2025-65945 auth0/node-jws improper HMAC signature verification vulnerability

auth0/node-jws is a JSON Web Signature implementation for Node.js. In versions 3.2.2 and earlier and version 4.0.0, auth0/node-jws has an improper signature verification vulnerability when using the HS256 algorithm under specific conditions. Applications are affected when they use the...

Json Web Token (JWT) Bypass

json-web-token is vulnerable to Json Web Token JWT Bypass. The vulnerability is due to an insecure mechanism used while verifying the signature of a JWT. The library blindly trusts the algorithm listed in the token without further verification. An attacker can forge a token using the HS256...
